Manny Pacquiao defends his WBO Welterweight Championship against the 140-pound champion Chris Algieri on November 22, 2014 at the Venetian Resort, Macau.
Pacquiao enters into the boxing ring after two consecutive victories. His win over Timothy Bradley boosted Pacquiao’s confidence and he captured back the welterweight title.
The time has come for Pacquiao to win every fight left in his career. A loss against Algieri will ultimately put his career in trouble. However, a victory will keep his chance alive to face Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Algieri is not the perfect match for Pacquiao. However, his surprising victory over Ruslan Provodnikov in June earned him a shot at Pacquiao. Aside from his boxing skills, Algieri was a decorated kickboxing champion in his amateur and professional days.
Algieri has the length, reach and the wisdom to eliminate Pacquiao’s advantages. He has a big heart that can post a possible threat to Pacquiao’s belt.
The Filipino icon is 14-1 favorite. In the eyes of many, this fight will be one-sided. But as long as Algieri is undefeated, the scare for Pacquiao will exist.
